The Sweet Service Award goes to MAC cosmetics in the V&A Waterfront, and its assistant manager Kerry Trainer. I wanted to buy my favorite lipstick and gave her the name of the colour, only to be told that the colour has been discontinued, something which happens so often in cosmetics. She said she could have the stock room checked for any last lipsticks in this colour, if I could wait for a while. I returned and was irritated that the person fetching the lipsticks still had not returned to the shop. When I returned a second time, the lipstick had arrived, plus a sample one, which Kerry offered me for free, due to the colour being discontinued.
